Figure 1. Loess smoother and 95% confidence ranges for the association between number of Top-10% papers generated per grant and grant percentile ranking among 6873 de no cardiovascular NHLBI grants. Y-axis values are logarithmically transformed due to skewed distributions.
The top panel shows all data in a scatter plot, whereas the bottom panel focuses on the loess smoother alone. Note the difference in scale of the Y-axis between the top and bottom panels.
